About Me

Over the last twelve years, I have helped secure more than $34.5 million in grant funds for school districts, colleges, universities, faith-based organizations, and other nonprofits. In addition to grant consulting,vI write and speak regularly on topics related to faith, community development, rural culture, and fundraising. My most recent book is "Slow Church: Cultivating Community in the Patient Way of Jesus" (IVP, 2014). I am also the online community manager for the Ford Institute for Community Building, a rural vitality initiative of The Ford Family Foundation. I live in Oregon’s Mid-Willamette Valley with my wife, Kate, and our two children.
